Self-Similar Shocks in Polytropic Gas Flows around Star-Forming Regions
Self-similar shock solutions in spherically symmetric polytropic gas flows are constructed and analyzed in contexts of proto-star formation processes. Among other possible solutions, we model a similarity shock across the sonic critical curve with an inner free-fall core collapse and a simultaneous outer expansion of the extended envelope; the separation or stagnation surface between these two ...
متن کاملSelf-Similar Polytropic Champagne Flows in H II Regions
We explore large-scale hydrodynamics of H II regions for various self-similar shock flows of a polytropic gas cloud under self-gravity and with quasi-spherical symmetry. We formulate cloud dynamics by invoking specific entropy conservation along streamlines and obtain global self-similar “champagne flows” for a conventional polytropic gas with shocks as a subclass. Molecular cloud cores are ion...
متن کاملHypersonic Molecular Shocks in Star Forming Regions
Shocks are everywhere in the Universe, and with hindsight it is easy to see why. In the John Dyson era one might be tempted to ask if indeed there is anything else? Such a coherent view of so much of the goings-on between the stars has been imparted by John and his colleagues that most interesting phenomena now have a Dyson – or Dyson-style – similarity solution to describe them. But the discov...
متن کاملSELF-SIMILAR CHAMPAGNE FLOWS IN Hii REGIONS
We consider the idealized expansion of an initially self-gravitating, static, singular, isothermal cloud core. For t ≥ 0, the gas is ionized and heated to a higher uniform temperature by the formation of a luminous, but massless, star in its center. The approximation that the mass and gravity of the central star is negligible for the subsequent motion of the Hii region holds for distances r
متن کاملSelf-Similar Dynamics of a Magnetized Polytropic Gas
In broad astrophysical contexts of large-scale gravitational collapses and outflows and as a basis for various further astrophysical applications, we formulate and investigate a theoretical problem of self-similar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) for a non-rotating polytropic gas of quasi-spherical symmetry permeated by a completely random magnetic field. Within this framework, we derive two coupled ...
